The dress that didn’t grow up.
In the whimsical world of knitting, sometimes our projects take on a life of their own. When I first embarked on creating this pattern, my goal was to craft a stunning dress. Yet, as fate would have it, a shortage of yarn led to a charming twist in this journey, giving rise to the name “The Dress That Didn’t Grow Up.”
But I am not one to be discouraged easily. Determined to bring the dress vision to life, I persisted and, in due course, not only a delightful dress but also a chic cropped sweater. Along the way, I expanded the pattern to offer two distinct sleeve options, two captivating necklines, and even the option for embroidery.
With this versatile pattern, the possibilities are boundless. You can knit a range of cozy sweaters that effortlessly blend into your wardrobe, tailor-made to suit your unique style. Whether you’re looking for a dress that adds a touch of elegance or a cropped sweater for a casual flair, this pattern has you covered. Get ready to knit your way to a wardrobe filled with comfort, creativity, and endless possibilities.
This garment is worked from the top down. First, you knit the back and leave the stitches on hold. Then you pick up stitches on the back shoulder and knit the right front and left front separately. You join the front and continue knitting for the armhole length. Then, you join the front and back together and knit the body in the round. Stitches are picked up at each armhole for the sleeves, which are then worked in the round.

Sizes: 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9)
This sweater is designed to be slightly oversized, with approximately 6-7 inches (15-17 cm) of positive ease around the bust.

Kleita, kas nepieauga.
Piedzīvojumiem bagātajā adīšanas pasaulē dažkārt mūsu projekti paši izvēlās savu ceļu. Kad es pirmo reizi sāku adīt šo modeli, mans mērķis bija iegūt adītu džemperkleitu. Tomēr, kā reizēm gadās, dzijas trūkums radīja krasu pavērsienu šī adījuma ceļā, radot nosaukumu “Kleita, kas nepieauga”.
Bet es neesmu no tiem, kas viegli atmet ar roku. Apņēmības pilna par kleitas vīziju, es iegādāju jaunu piemērotu dziju, neatlaidīgi adīju un ar laiku ieguvu ne tikai apburošu kleitu, bet arī elegantu saīsināto džemperi. Adot šos trīs džemperus es paplašināju aprakstu, lai piedāvātu divas atšķirīgas piedurkņu iespējas, divus valdzinošus kakla izgriezumus, kā arī izšūšanas iespēju.
Izmantojot šo daudzpusīgo aprakstu, iespējas ir neierobežotas. Varat adīt dažādus ērtus džemperus, kas bez piepūles iekļausies jūsu drēbju skapī un būs pielāgoti jūsu unikālajam stilam. Neatkarīgi no tā, vai meklējat kleitu, kas piešķir elegances pieskārienu, vai īso džemperi ikdienas skrējienam, šis apraksts ir jums piemērots.
